Boy's easel birthday card

When I began to make cards, I had a lot of trouble with masculine cards.  They are still not my favorite, but I found out that having the right paper helps.  :)  A while ago, I got the DCWV All About Boys stack.  It's great!!  Whenever I need something for a boy, it works for me!  And I've used a lot of it, so I must need to go paper shopping again, right??  :)





Challenges...
~Birthday Sundaes #41 - easel card (b'day wording on front)
~Cards for men challenge 2 - "boys and their toys"
~Celebrate the Occasion #47 - masculine birthday

~yellow braiding cord


Thanks for looking!!!!

So cute! Boy cards are hard for me, which is funny since out of my 9 grandkids 6 are boys.
